A great time was had by all as the i2 Scholar Program took a whitewater rafting trip this summer! Led by program director Dabney Standley, the group of more than 20 students and teachers journeyed to the South Fork of the American River for two days of camping, swimming, stargazing, and, of course, rafting.

After finishing her career at Washington State as the school’s all-time digs leader, Alexis Dirige ’16 is continuing her career and education at Concordia University playing in their beach volleyball program! Way to go, Lexi!

Congratulations to seniors Mateo Alves, Baxter Bourque, Matthew Simpson, and Alivia Zhao for qualifying as semifinalists in the 2023 National Merit

Scholarship Program! The nationwide pool of semifinalists represents the top one percent of high school seniors based on scores from the 2022 PSAT exam. Also commended for their performance on the test were fellow seniors Atessa Anoshiravani, Ryan Cannon, Riley Dickman, Calia Godtland, William Holland, Jonah Lee, Kenneth Li, Natalie Macke, and Adilene Ryan. Way to go, Irish Scholars! SHC’s student-run Go Big Green has been resurrected, and the stands have spoken! School spirit is at an all-time high, students cheering on their classmates and singing the alma mater at games all season long. Check out their Instagram at @gobiggreengo.

As a member of SHC’s facilities and maintenance teams, Eddy Rosales worked tirelessly behind the scenes, alongside several members of the Rosales family, to ensure that the SHC campus always looked beautiful and functioned seamlessly. Eddy passed away in 2018, but his memory lives on in the beautiful garden planted by his family next to the Brothers’ House. Rest in peace, Eddy.
